The mighty Rockies around Edelweiss, Golden BC area. These are shots i never got around to posting from our trip to Golden a couple of years ago - right now it's cold and wet and cloudy - so it's not a good time for photoshopping.

The Queen Elizabeth II Great Court is a covered square at the centre of the British Museum. It was designed by the engineers Buro Happold and the architects Foster and Partners. The Great Court opened in December 2000 and is the largest covered square in Europe. The roof is a glass and steel construction, built by an Austrian steelwork company with 1,656 uniquely shaped panes of glass. At the centre of the Great Court is the Reading Room vacated by the British Library, its functions now moved to St Pancras. The Reading Room is open to any member of the public who wishes to read there.
The museum is dedicated to human history and culture. Its permanent collection, numbering some 8 million works, is among the largest and most comprehensive in existence and originates from all continents, illustrating and documenting the story of human culture from its beginnings to the present.

"Amateurs talk strategy, professionals talk logistics".
Whilst a lot of flashing images have been on peoples' telescreens of late, it is clear a lot of people have become armchair generals and sitting room diplomats.
However, physical reality determines what happens in the real world. Some countries ought to be doing certain things for sure but that is a world away from what is happening.
Recent events have shown some countries are stronger or weaker than hitherto imagined. Some alliances or power blocks will no doubt get a rude awakening.
If events are as portrayed, then realignments are inevitable and
access to raw materials will become key. To have such resources, global trade needs to continue as expected, or you need to have your own primary and secondary industries and have not mothballed them or sold them off to a country that no longer likes you.
Also, it is hard to be at war with a country upon whom you are resource-dependent for the next five years (conservative estimate).
PS. Having a look at Orwell's map for 1984 power blocks map is somewhat illuminating.
